@Michael *******

and you would have lost about 1 baht per pound on the rubbish exchange rate they gave you.

There are websites that basically lend you a flight for this reason. They give you a real booking number and you pay them a small fee for the service. Have a look on google.

Get the non o visa before you leave your country online, as you have a baby it should be no problem

@Duncan ******

no they dont, why on earth would eva fly direct there? They will have a code share flight, good lord you could get an eva air flight (code share) to almost anywhere in the world.

Are you asking if you can move visa wise then yes no problem you can get a visa based on family, if you are asking financially wise then sadly i would say no unless you have a way of earning whilst you are here, otherwise that money has to last you the rest of your life. You need to factor in many things eg. Inflation, your 2k a month now wont buy as much in 20 years time.

I’ve only ever had problems with the Sheila’s nothing to do with sexism just fact. Avoid them in my experience. I got grilled for the first time in years a couple of days ago, unusually all the IO’s on duty when I arrived-Sheila’s!

Might be worth considering the price of flights from Samui, unless you dont mind doing long bus rides for your border runs, flying border runs are a lot more expensive from samui than anywhere else in Thailand.

Choose anything you want, what does it matter as long as the money arrives, I always choose sending home to family.

As others have advised get a non o visa before you come, then getting a bank account will be straight forward without the need to pay an agent.
